A month after the invasion from both societies they send a mission of 12 military personnel to the KRS Unsinkable a deep-space vessel that was last seen patrolling the sun.
The head of the operation was Sargent Jackson of the military that was selected to lead the operation, he was in his late 30's and had the most experience, next there was private Cooper, Private Olirery, Pikeriton, Johnathon Grazelli, and other marines.
It was 4.40am on the 25th April 2025 and the marines were being transported to the vessel ...one of the marines asked, "What are we looking for when we get there?" Sargent Jackson was given a debrief of what to expect, and in a deep voice, he said, "The ships went quiet and the comms are out. The ship is stationary, so prepare for the worse."
They boarded the ship it was quiet even tho they had a keycard for the doors they were manually torched shut, one of the marines said "what were they keeping in? or out?" Jackson said I don't know but keep your guard up, we have to go right, they reach an area where they looked to be fighting, Pikeriton said: "I don't like the look of this, there are bodies but there unidentifiable".
Keep going Jackson said and they did, they spent 10 minutes walking through narrow corridors till they reached a part of the ship where there was no access and Olirery said "fuck what do we do now" Jackson said "keep your cool try and get that door open" Grazelli heard a woman crying and said "there is a woman crying" but he couldn't figure out where and then suddenly the door opened and they were spooked and almost shot the figure.
The door was open and the was a scientist and he fell, one of the marines officers him a hand up, offers him and introduced himself "I'm John Greed" and Sargent Jackson asked him what happened and John said "there is something here it's not human" the solders looked worried one of them said "what do you mean something here is not human" Well john said "there 12 foot 6 by my guess they talk telepathically with you and as far as I know I'm the only one still alive apart from the hospital" One of the soldiers said, "are their people in there?" John said there are woman but there highly contagious". Jackson asked if there was a way to get to the captain's quarters to get the black box, John said "yes but it passed by the armoury and there are weapons there but the things are there," Jackson said, "its a risk I have to take".

They reach the armoury and retrieve the weapons and Olirery said: "I thought you said there were those things here?" John said "I did there suppose to be here and there not, I don't like this" Just as they get the last of the weapons one of the marines outside the armoury shouted "ENEMY CONTACT ENEMY CONTACT HURRY!", John ran and one of the marines chased him shouting "wait!" the rest followed and many died trying to fight them, once they got to the captain's area where they pilot the ship there only were Sargent Jackson, Private Cooper, Private Olirery, Pikeriton, Johnathon Grazelli, John Greed. One of the marines that were falling behind shouted "wait" and Jackson shut the door with the marine on the other side shouting "fuck you man let me in I don't want to die, he was begging at this point and all Jackson could see was his blood on the door window, The other marines were staring at him and he said, "it was either him or us and I made the choice".
They were on the bridge and Cooper said "god this is a mess, where would the black box be" "Hey scientist" John looked and said "I have a name you know" Cooper said "whatever find it" and John did, Jackson was wondering how they would get out and then John shouted "found the black box" Jackson said great now give it to me" which he did, now cause your the only survivor you're coming with us" Then the creatures appeared they were they had no eyes, tall and skinny and talked to them telepathically, "your not the arcanians or arknolians, strange how there getting humans do to there dirty work, sorry for your loss of men but you fired and gave us no choice" "Were sending you back to your ship and John we will meet another time hopefully you will understand what we told you".
Then they were teleported to the ship and the pilot said "how the hell did you get here? Oh god you were teleported" and just as they looked out the window the ship KRS Unsinkable disappeared through a black hole and the pilot said "do you have the black box?" and Jackson said "yes but most of my men are dead" and the pilot said "that's unfortunate but I got orders to transport you to our homeland" And Jackson said "what homeland?" "The land of the arcanians and arknolians, I'd advise you to sit down till we get there..."
